autom4te in autoconf 2.59 has # Open the index for update, and lock it. autom4te handles several # files, but the index is the first and last file to be update, so # locking it is sufficient. $icache_file = new Autom4te::XFile $icache, O_RDWR|O_CREAT; $icache_file->lock (LOCK_EX); But flock interface doesn't work over NFS under Linux 2.4. Can it use fcntl interface for file locking instead? H.J. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
